A member asked:

I have chest pain on the left side extreme fatigue shoulder pain on the left side and shortness of breath what does this mean?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See your doctor!: Left sided chest pain that radiates to the shoulder and is associated with fatigue and shortness of breath is very concerning for a heart or lung problem. This should be evaluated very soon by your doctor with physical exam, ekg, chest x-ray and blood tests. This constellation of symptoms should prompt a visit to the emergency room. I would recommend that you chew an Aspirin and go or call 911.
